Dealer prepped RX330
I detailed this guy's 944 last summer and recently he picked up this beautiful Lexus. Of course the dealer buffed it out with a wool pad which he didn't see until next day. Picked the car up at night. Holograms buffer swirls were everywhere. Took me 5 hours.

wash
clay
EC/rotary/yellow ccs pad 1700rpm where needed
OHC/pc/6/orange 7.5 lc pad - entire car
106ff white lc pad pc speed 6 except roof
CG's Extreme Top Coat green finishing pad pc 3
fk1 3108 on tires/trim

After washing it it doesn't look too bad does it?



Claying the hood



This should show newcomers why claying is so important. Even a wool pad couldn't remove the contemination

Now this is how the paint REALLY looked.





Here is a half & half after compounding

Re: Dealer prepped RX330
Thanks GUYS!

Did come out real nice. I am 6'3'so it is easier for me. Actually the 330s roof is pretty easy to do.
